4 good story is going the rounds at the ex-
pense of two well known Augusta Young men.
They had been on a visit to Staplcton and in
returning home in the evening through the
gully heard what they thought to be the groans
of some person in distress Peerng through
the darkness they discovered the form of a
man lying under an apple tree and evidently
in great agony They at first decided to 20
up to him and see what the matter was. but
not knowing what manner of man" he might
be they thought better of it and hurrying
down town related the circumstance to a mem
Der of the police force claiming that they were
on a life saving mission, Accompanied by
the officer they returned to the gully. and
heard the groans still continuing only being
if anything little more agonizing. Led on
BY the officer they FASTENED to investigate
They came up to the tree, but no man was
visible. Instead of a dying topper they found
a coal hod and pile of rubbish behind which
wearied hog was snoring peacefully. The
party stole softly away and did not awaken
him. When the officer finally found his
voice the only thing he CALCULATED was
cigars" Let us believe they were forth
coming.

Mr.. Marley chairman of the Republican
State Committee stated to the journal report
er that the result of the election on the whole
must be gratifying To the republicans. In the
state of New York, the Republicans fought
against odds. For the first time in the his
tory of the country, the President of the
United States threw the whole of his infiu-
ence into local contest, while one of his
Cabinet officers under the prcteuSe of illness
was in New York personally experimenting
the contest corruption fund never before
paraleled was used to defraud the voters
The result leaves New York the battle
ground for 'ss, and the vote shows that Mr.
Blaine in New York is stronger
than his party. The result in
Massachusetts, is particularly gratifying
because the Boston Globe persistantly claim
ed that a vote for AmeS was vote for
Blaine. 1t made the issue and must abide
the result The reelection of Governor
Foraker by an increased majority will carry
iov to every republican in the land The
triumph in Rhode Island gives the republic
cans a majority of the State in the next
House of Representatives which is of great
importance. Iowa and Nebraska remain
firm in their allegiance to Rcpuhicanism
There is no waverng in any republican
state and the result proves that the republican
party have in its power to carry the county
next wear. Thorough organization will
bring'a big.

THE MAINE GOOD rEMpLARs.
What They are Doing in Our State

Our reporter ran across Geo. F.. Bracket
OF Belfast, Secretary of the Maine Good
Iempiars, at Hotel North, yesterday, who
reports his organization in excellent condition
Tor the winters campaign Although it is
generally known that the order of Good
Iemplars is the largest and leading temper
ance society in existence and that its lodges
are located in every part of the civilized
globe, yet we doubt if its proportions in
Maine are generally understood.
Mr. Bracket reports $50 lodges under his
jurisdiction which include over 20 900 MEM
beers, and are located in nearly every town in
the State They also have about - juvenile
temples with nearly 5000 children under
the triple pledge. which includes intoxicat-
ing liquors, tobacco and profanity Since
he mas been Sec. of the order in Maine, some
dozen years, he has seen it grow from about
ten thousand to its present proportions, and
still there is room for more.
The organizing officers of the order are
now in the field visiting weak lodges and
new Dfte- hFdUu nlcI lenpLar
Dow is in Knox county, Grand Counsellor
Hamilton in Franklin county, and several
State deputies in other sections of the State
Work will be pushed from now to the holidays
which is the best season of the year for visit
ing and instituting. Six new lodges were
instituted in October and more will be in
November. The See. reports Keunebec
county as one of the best in the State with
70 lodges and nearly two thousand members
There are still several towns in the county
which should have a lodge, and persons liv-
ing there and Interested to have one should
correspond with the Sec. at once.
The order has recently met with great
loss in the sudden death of its highest officer
John b. Finch, and all the lodges in the
world, numbering several thousands will at
once go into mourning for three months in
honor of his memory.
